MetaDefender Cloud by OPSWAT is a cloud-based threat analysis and prevention platform designed to secure files and data across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. It analyzes files, IP addresses, domains, and URLs to detect threats such as malware, zero-day exploits, vulnerabilities, and data leakage. The platform's core technical capabilities utilize a multi-layered security model that combines multiscanning with multiple anti-malware engines, Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) for file sanitization, and adaptive sandbox dynamic analysis for investigating unknown threats.
The platform integrates into existing security workflows and applications via REST APIs, ICAP protocols, and native storage connectors to support automated functions like file scanning and content sanitization. Its capabilities include Data Loss Prevention (DLP), binary vulnerability assessment, and threat intelligence through reputation services for files, IPs, and domains. To support data privacy and compliance, the system processes files in temporary storage and provides features such as regional data routing to maintain file residency. It delivers detailed scan reports and supports automated log forwarding to SIEM systems.
